SAUSAGEHSTUFFERI SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 343,077, dated June 1, 1886.

Application filed January 3, 1885.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, MAXIMILIAN SIERE- vELD and GRANVILLE H. STALLMAN, both of Cincinnati, Hamilton county, Ohio, have in- 5 vented a new and useful Improvementin Sausage-Stufters, oi which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to sausage-stuffing machilies which are operated by steam; and it ro consists in the mechanisms and combinations of parts by which the machine is adapted for use with steam acting in a direct line in the cylinders, as hereinafter pointed out and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure l is a vertical ceutral section ofthe device. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the lower part of the same.

B indicates a steam-cylinder, of usual construction, having piston K, piston-rod K, and

2o a piston-head, K2, on the end of the rod exterior to the steam-cylinder. The piston-rod K passes through smiling-box B.

Steanrpipe C communicates with one end of the steam-cylinder, and steam-pipe -E with 25 the other end, these pipes leading from a common valve-chamber, F, in which a valve, F', moves, so as to supply either pipe from the supply-pipe G. The valve F may be moved by the hand-levcrf f2.

J is a steanrchaxnbcr, having safety-valve .I and indicator J2.

A lever, f, extends from the valve F', and a rod, E, is pivotcd to said lever. This rod E has an inturned arm, e', which projects to- 3 5 ward the steam-eylindcrand engages a rod, e,

which passes through stuffing-box D d into the steam-cylinder B.

Cylinder B is supported on frame A (ly a a?, which frame has cross-bars L2. A cylinder,

4o L, having one end open, is supported on trunnions L and L3 on bearings on these crossbars. The p iston-head l fits the interior of this cylinder L. One-of the trunnions, as L, has an arm, N, firmly attached thereto, and 5 this arm N has a pitman, N2, extending upward, andan inturned arm, N3, on said pitman, said arm extending above and into the line of movement of piston-head K2.

Cylinder' L has a hollow stem, L, at its Anozzlepiece, M,

Serial No. 151,965. (No model.)

Between the nozsupport l?. The piston-head K2 is then inline 6o with cylinder L. New, supposing said cylinder L to be full of meat to be made into sausages, and the sausageeasing attached to nozzles on m, (the gates m3 m4 being open,) steam may be admitted above the piston K. will drive down the piston K`l and force the sausage-meat out through the nozzles into the casings, the ridge m5 serving rto deliect it in both directions. Then the pistonhead K This strikes rod e, it will cause a reversal of valve 7o F', and therefore a reverse movement of the piston, as usual in steam-cylinders. As piston-head1.T2 rises ont of the cylinder L, it encounters the projection N3, and by means of the train of connections from this projection,

arm, or stop to the cylinder L, it causes said cylinder to rock on its trunnions into the position shown in Fig. 2.

As it is necessary to supply several sets of sausage casings for one stroke of the piston, 8o

the movement ot' piston may be stopped at any time by means of leverfz.

IVe claim- 1. rIhe combination of a steam-cylinder having usual pistou and piston-rod, a lneat-cylinder hung on trunnions to rock into or out of line with said steam-cylinder,a piston-head on the pistonrod which fits said meat-cylinder, an arm in the line of movement of said pistonhead, and connections from said arm tothe 9o meat-cylinder, lby which the same is rocked on its trunnions.

2. The combination, with the steam cylinder having piston-rod and valves, as usual, of

a trunnioned meatcylinder in line with the steam-cylinder, an arm on one ot' the trunnions, a rod connected with said arm, a projection from said rod extending over the mouth of the cylinder, and a guide on the frame through which said rod passes.

IOO

3. The combination, with the steam-cylinder having piston and rod, as usual, and anpiston-head outside the steam-cylinder, and the meat-cylinder trunnioned so as to swing into or out of line with the same, an arm in the line of movement of the piston, :1nd mechanism connected therewith for rocking the cylinder, and a delivery-nozzle attached to said meat-cylinder, of a. valve-reversing niechanism in the line of movement of one of the piston-heads, whereby the movement of the piston in the meat-cylinder isreversed as this piston-head reaches the end of the meat-cylinder, as set forth.

4. The combination of a sausage-cylinder hung in bearings, arm N, rod N2, having pro- MAXIMILIAN SIEREVELD. GRANVILLE H. STALLMAN.
